Synopsis
In the gripping 2017 mystery film Crooked House, we delve into a web of deception and familial discord as private investigator Charles Hayward, played by Max Irons, is drawn back into the life of his former love, Sophia de Haviland, portrayed by Stefanie Martini. When the wealthy patriarch of the de Haviland family is found murdered in his grand estate, Charles finds himself not only solving the case but also navigating the complexities of rekindled romance amidst a backdrop of suspicion and greed. The sprawling estate, with its labyrinthine corridors and eccentric residents, serves as a character in its own right, harboring secrets that threaten to unravel the very fabric of the family.
The film adeptly explores themes of loyalty, betrayal, and the burdens of family legacy. As Charles interviews the various family members—each harboring their own motives and secrets—viewers are drawn into a tangled mystery where nothing is as it seems. The rich character dynamics, particularly between Charles and Sophia, add an emotional layer to the narrative, making the stakes not just about uncovering the truth behind the murder, but also about reconciling past relationships. Crooked House is a stylish adaptation of Agatha Christie’s novel that combines classic whodunit elements with modern sensibilities, delivering a compelling mix of intrigue and drama that keeps audiences guessing until the final twist.
